Evergold Awaits New Drill Assays from DEM Porphyry “Halo”,
Identifies Likely Location of Intrusive Centre
Toronto, Ontario – October 9, 2024 - Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ) (“Evergold” or the “Company”)
is pleased to report that a limited program of follow -up drilling to last season’s greenfield precious and strategic metals
discovery at the road -accessible DEM porphyry prospect, located near Fort St. James in central B.C. , has achieved
encouraging new intersections of the DEM sulphide vein system within DEM Mountain, in what is now interpreted to be
the alteration “halo” around a large intrusion anchoring the system and located downslope to the west, below and masked
by thick glacial till (see Figures 1 to 5) – a situation potentially akin to management’s experience with the deep till-covered
nature of the giant Saddle discovery for GT Gold some years ago. Drill core has been shipped to Penticton, B.C. for cutting
and sampling, with laboratory assay results anticipated in November.
“As a raw new greenfield prospect first drill tested less than 12 months ago, we continue to make significant advances in
our understanding of this large system of which we have only tested, with limited budget not adequate to the scale of the
opportunity, a very small portion to dat e,” said Kevin Keough, President and CEO. “These advances include recognition
of a large alteration halo, demonstration that this halo is mineralized with local ly high grades encompassed by broad
envelopes of a spectrum of high-value elements, and now perhaps most significantly, the location of what we believe may
be the porphyry intrusion centering the system. We look forward to advancing the project further with the pending assays
and our next exploratory steps, to include targeting the intrusive centre with its first-ever drilling.”
Discussion (see Figures 1 to 5 below)
Drilling to date at the DEM Prospect has focused only on that small part of the 4 km2 DEM prospect area underlying the
topographic and (overall) magnetic highs of DEM Mountain . DEM Mountain is surrounded by the generally much lower
elevations of the DEM Lowlands (see DEM Mountain fly-over video on home page at www.evergoldcorp.ca) which include
several low -relief knolls trending off from DEM Mountain to the west , coincident with a roughly donut -shaped arc of
underlying magnetically positive anomalies . DEM Mountain and these knolls are now interpreted to be part of the
topographically higher elevation, relatively well exposed hornfelsed and (generally) magnetically positive alteration halo
around a topographically lower and glacial till-covered intrusive centre underlying the DEM Lowlands, identified by its large
magnetic low signature, and also exhibiting high IP chargeability and low resistivity.
During the recent program two holes were drilled from two pads located high on DEM Mountain, for a total of 756 metres.
Hole DEM24-04 was drilled due west at minus 50 degrees from the first pad, and DEM2 4-05 was drilled due south at
minus 65 degrees from a second pad on the same section 68000N. Both holes were designed to further test a north-south
geochemical and geophysical trend within the DEM Mountain part of the larger DEM prospect alteration halo comprised
of a local magnetic low anomaly (see Figure 1) with associated induced polarization (“IP”) and controlled-source audio-
frequency magneto-telluric (“CSAMT”) low resistivity anomalies and high IP chargeability anomalies, first drilled late in
2023. In common with results of last season’s reconnaissance drill program, each of the two holes intercepted sedimentary
rocks cut locally by porphyritic dykes, with the host rocks infused to varying degrees by cross -cutting sulphide-bearing
veinlets and veins, locally of semi-massive to massive character, along with associated disseminated sulphides. Assays
are pending.

Recent extension, in September, of IP coverage to the west, north and south of previous lines, effectively covering the
large magnetic low downslope to the west of drilling to date, has enabled recognition of the likely intrusive centre, which is
now known to bear similar geophysical characteristics to the local magnetic low drilled successfully to date on DEM
Mountain.
About the DEM Project
The 12,728-hectare DEM property is ideally located in moderate terrain only 40 kms northwest of Fort St. James in central
B.C.. The project area lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp and within the Quesnel terrane, the
latter of which hosts large deposits and long-life mines including the Mount Milligan mine (50 kms to the northeast of DEM)
and Lorraine deposit and, farther south, the Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper Mountain, and Brenda mines, in addition to the
Highland Valley mines and deposits.
Located central to the DEM property is the DEM1 prospect, a roughly 4km2 target area defined by alteration and mineralogy
suggestive of the presence of a porphyry system, by a multi-element soil geochemical signature, by compelling high-relief
magnetic, IP-chargeability and CSAMT resistivity anomalies, and by the presence of n earby regional scale structures.
Extensive logging in the area and associated forest service roads provide drive-on access directly to the DEM1 prospect.
A reconnaissance drill program (3 holes for 947 metres) carried out in October and November 2023 returned narrow
intercepts of high-grade gold, silver and strategic metals (molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, tellurium, rhenium) encompassed
by a broad low-grade envelope, localized to a magnetic low within the high elevations of DEM Mountain (see news, January
15, 2024). Each of the three holes intercepted variably calcareous fine-grained sedimentary rocks cut locally by metre -
scale porphyritic dykes, with the host rocks, and locally the dykes, strongly infused over core lengths of up to 5 0 metres
by cross-cutting sulphide-bearing veinlets and veins, locally of semi-massive to massive character, along with associated
disseminated sulphides. These intervals were also encompassed by broader halos of lower-intensity disseminated and
sulphide-bearing veinlets and veins. Sulphide minerals observed in core included abundant disseminated and vein-hosted
arsenopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite, with lesser but sign ificant sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite.
Sulphosalts were also commonly observed.
